NCT ID NCT07346599
First seen Jan 21, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 35 times
Summary
This study tested whether a nerve block called an erector spinae plane (ESP) block can reduce pain after lumbar spine surgery. 102 adults were randomly assigned to receive either the ESP block or standard pain treatment. Researchers measured pain scores, opioid use, and how quickly patients could get up and move. The goal is to find a safer, more effective way to manage postoperative pain.

What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with 102 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The nerve block may not reduce pain significantly or could have side effects.
